After a period of Mixed Success and big successes mainly in RomCom,Musical and Tragedy Drama in 2000s, Khan resurrected his screen image with the action film Wanted (2009), and achieved greater stardom the following decade by starring in the top-grossing action films Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), Kick (2014), and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), and the dramas Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Sultan (2016).

He has been hosting the reality show Bigg Boss since 2010. Khan's off-screen life is marred by controversy and legal troubles.
